Right on the SR, wrong on the levers. The levers are Modolo Kronos. These levers suck. I never could get them to work reliably, they always took too much force to stop even when in the drops. I'd change the cable, the housing, the brake pads and they still didn't work well. The calipers were Campy.

You can't see it in this picture but the cranks are pantographed. I also have the original pedals somewhere, packed away in moving boxes from 15 years ago. I had put Look pedals on it way back then but I changed to Keos about 3 years ago on my other bike, and that was probably the last time I rode it. The tubing is Columbus SL. You can see the sticker on the seat tube.

The original wheels are Campy SR hubs and Nisi Laser rims. These were the most aerodynamic rims in their time, as were the levers.

My stepfather bought this bike in his hometown of Cuneo, Italy, also Zilioli's hometown, at the town fair. It was a "special" and cost about half what I paid for my Davidson that I bought that same year. He also paid in Lira that he was getting as veterans compensation that he only used when he went home, so it was essentially free to him.
